I'm doing it, just completed day 9! Don't know what its meant to be, so I did 4 days, 2 days off then 4 days 1 day off (but this was purely due to work / weekend commitments) I vaguely remember from high school (like a million years ago) that to see a difference / be healthy you need to work out 3 times a week for 20…

I've put weight on too (at least I think I have, my scales are slightly dodgy) Glad its not just me! I have also altered my calories as I was on 1200 and then read about it and how it doesnt necessarily help, so I think my poor body is wondering what the heck has happened to it!!

Complete 30 Day Shred (I'm on day 5) and keep up my activity level Cut down on the amount of white bread I eat (which is way too much but not cut it out 'cos this is a lifestyle change NOT a diet) Fit in to my new work trousers comfortably by 10th June (because my old ones are too big and look a bit daft but these are a…

Wow! Well done!! :smile:

I went shopping today and have dropped a dress size. I am now a UK 14. YAY!!!!

I am so going to teach that in my next P.E. lesson. Genius!! My class of 10 /11 year olds will LOVE it!!

My mum has lost 3 stone by just eating less. That is the only change she has made (she claims she hates exercise but likes dancing / walking - I have tried to explain this one to her!!!) Its taken her about 2 years but it she's lost and kept it off. Nothing has been cut out, she is just eating less. (She was 15 stone and…

People can be so stupid. Easier said than done ignoring the comments - I can still remember pretty much all the negative comments that have been made over the years - why cant the lovely comments be remembered the same way??! Feisty me would make it in to a game - write a list of the insults they make and carry it round…

Sorry to hear about your break up, that sucks. I found the best way to get over a break up is exercise. I got in to exercise after my marriage ended (he was an abusive, lying, cheating scum bag) - punching the air during a workout? In my head I was whacking him in the face. Spinning lesson - I was cycling and each time the…

I AM IN CONTROL. - NOT MY CHIMP! (This book is brilliant) http://www.amazon.co.uk/Chimp-Paradox-Management-Programme-Confidence/dp/009193558X I remind myself that I make the conscious decisions and I am in control of what I eat and of the exercise / activeness (if that's a word?!) every day. I dont NEED to eat it now. -…

Hello, I started today! Day 1 done and not quite dead. Success! x

My cat tries to sit on me whilst doing sit ups...not easy! I often have an overnight work out by her as well, if I sleep on my back, she curls up on my front. I wondered for ages why my stomach felt odd in the mornings, like I had done a load of sit ups... she is a heavy beastie!

Hello, I keep falling off the band wagon at the moment but with the support of the people on here, I keep getting right back on it again. My big picture is daunting and maybe I was over ambitious to begin with so I have been setting myself mini goals. I fall off the band wagon pretty much weekly BUT I keep getting back on…

Lol! That did make me smile. Well done for actually standing up for yourself. Now if only you could travel back in time and tell your teenage self you would have that opportunity... :smile:
-
I am slightly freaked out at the thought of losing 4 stone (which is the minimum of what I need to do) as a) it is a MAHOOSIVE amount to lose and b) I dont know what life will be like at that weight. I know this sounds really daft but I eat when I am stressed / sad / happy / worried food is my emotional crutch and I know I…

Well done! You look fabulous!! (I have serious hair colour envy!!)
-
You look amazing! What an achievement! :happy:
-
There is SO much difference! Well done!
-
That's amazing (and amazingly repulsive!) I needed to see that - its actually quite a lot! Moaning about 1 lb loss a week will be kept to a minimum...!! Just googled 'what does 1lb of fat look like' SERIOUSLY gross! 5 lbs of fat is the same weight as a brick... puts lots of things in to perspective!
-
You dont look like a really bad friend, you just look like a person who wants to make changes, IS making changes but looking for a way of coping with a situation you know you are going to be facing - very sensible hun!! I would eat something healthy before I go / make sure I did an extra workout to remind myself what I am…

Just finishing my first week of my new lifestyle and feeling very motivated already but this thread is AMAZING. Thank you for sharing! Inspirational!

I am such a scale hopper its daily BUT I will only count Saturdays weigh in as 'proper'. Wouldn't recommend scale hopping though! It does my head in. :smile:

My jeans from 4 years ago. I loved them! Something lovely for my little bro's wedding Skater dresses / summer dresses - cant wear them at the moment - I have 'fat lady' legs and look ridiculously awful UK size 12 stuff.... not since my university days!! Clothes that I REALLY want to wear, not just stuff that I can hide…
-
I drink Green Tea but I have it very weak (and I have a v. particular method of making it - OCD, moi??!) My fave at the moment is Green tea with peppermint. 0 calories too.
-
I *need* to lose that amount too before July / August for my brothers wedding. At the moment I have visions of people saying to each other "Who is his sister?" "Its the fat one over there." OR in the future when people are looking back at the photo albums I don't want to be the big fat one on the photos!!! Feel free to add…

That's a fabulous achievement, well done! (I think the socks finish the look off brilliantly too :wink: )
-
You go girl! Looking fab!

Hi! Anyone is welcome to add me, I am on every day (so far anyway and its Day 5!! Woo! This getting healthy malarkey is my mission!)
-
How very rude!!! I had this when I was at my heaviest a number of years ago, from someone who worked in the canteen at my school. I was MORTIFIED and avoided her AND never wore the floaty top (that I thought was really pretty and looked nice) ever again!!!
